Well, i used pdbedit in my GUI-usermanager... and that is an bash script-based proggy... so yeah i guess u can use it in scripts. (very easyly)
i don't get the part about, pdbedit needs to initialised ? as long your samba is configed right, pdbedit will follow.. (atleast that is the idea). ----------------------------------------------------- Collen Blijenberg (Montessori Lyceum Herman Jordan) Wednesday, June 9, 2004, 2:59:49 PM, you wrote: NS> Sorry folks, a typo was causing the looping problem.
